*On behalf of CCWG-Accountability Co-Chairs*

Dear colleagues,



As indicated in our recent statement
<https://www.icann.org/news/blog/chairs-statement-from-the-cross-community-working-group-on-enhancing-icann-accountability-meeting-in-los-angeles>,
the CCWG-Accountability held a meeting in Los Angeles on 25-26 September to
begin analysis of feedback received on our Second Draft Proposal and to
advance work towards finalizing our Work Stream 1 recommendations.



In consideration of the input we still need to review and further dialogue
necessary to resolve a number of outstanding issues, we regret to inform
you that we will not be in a position to deliver our Work Stream 1
Recommendations for your consideration at ICANN54 in Dublin.



Given the current situation, the CCWG-Accountability’s goals for Dublin are
to refine the 2nd Draft Proposal based on conclusions made from the public
comment results and to continue to engage with the community. To ensure
that we can utilize ICANN54 to continue to address issues and iron out
details, we are currently working to adjust our meeting schedule to allow
for more opportunities for discussion and engagement, including within the
SOs and ACs. The CCWG-Accountability Work Parties (WPs) are actively
evaluating comments and preparing materials for robust discussions and
measures are being taken to ensure we are obtaining outside expertise for
consideration.



Depending on the outcome of our meetings in Dublin, the group will assess
where we stand and will determine whether a third public comment period is
needed to corroborate our conclusions, or whether we may proceed with the
finalization and delivery. Our current assessment indicates that should we
need to go through an additional call for input, we would send our Work
Stream 1 Recommendations in February 2016. If no call for input is
required, we could be in a position to deliver in November 2015.



We are cognizant that the CCWG–Accountability report is the last piece of
the puzzle to enable transmission of a proposal to NTIA. Rest assured that
we are strongly committed to delivering our recommendations as soon as
possible and will keep you apprised of our progress.



The CCWG-Accountability welcomes the opportunity to meet with you to
discuss our recommendations, share updates and to answer any questions. We
are happy to join any existing discussions you may already have planned for
Dublin, or please advise whether you are in a position to add this to your
ICANN54 agenda. Alternatively, we could schedule a conference call prior to
or post Dublin should you run into scheduling difficulties.



We thank you for your understanding and invite you to contact us should you
have any questions or concerns.



Best regards

Mathieu, Thomas, León
